I started it in July, but then was sidetracked by other things. I like the pattern very much, and it was my first "knitting in the round" project including steeks (now that was scary at first!)The yarn was Rauma Finnulgarn, and the pattern "The Siren's Heart" by Mette Handberg from the book "Norsk Strikkedesign".I decided to omit the heart in the pattern: this way it looks better in my opinion. I also used only three colors, and decided not to embroider pieces.Now I have to get a suitable white shirt to wear with it: the one on the picture is not what I have in mind.

I knitted this top before with the different color yarn. This time the color is rust, the yarn as before - Noro Hanna Silk. I made in in small, and only used 4 skeins.I had to crochet around the neck opening and the hem, it looks better (for me) this way.
